    IF YOU HAVE SUGGESTIONS OF HC BUMPERS-- reply with name and I'll add to the Poll-- Thanks guys

    Super interested in a HC bumper for my 2020 DC Taco. I wanted to know what everyone thought and also wanted to see if anyone had some pictures of dope tacos (theirs or ones they like) that have great bumpers too.

    I like the bed hoops but I'm not sold. This is what my meat Taco looks like today:

    The goal is to have the best possible departure angles and have it match my Victory Bumper up front.

    Cheers and thanks guys.

    Note-- I live in North Texas near DFW. So I'll have to ship all of these choices of course. Anything similar and semi-local I'm interested in too. I'll drive if it makes sense.

    Whatever one you get; get the hoops if you actually plan to play in the rocks or woods.

    I will be adding hoops and wings to mine...

    Also I'd get the swingouts, it's nice to not have the tire taking up 50% of the bed.

    I've already got Avid bed bars ordered and a basket for my spare. I just don't like the look of the tire on the back. My kids love using the tailgate too. I def have and will continue to play in the rocks, mud, woods, you name it.

    Nice rig too!

    Thanks mate! :thumbsup:

    Keep in mind though, a 33"+ E load is a fair bit of weight moving mine (34") just from laying in the bed to "standing" on the swing out noticeably raised my roll center in turns. Took a week or so of driving to get used to, rasing it even higher on bed bars might make her feel a bit tippy in the corners.

    The lower your weight is the better your odds of keeping her rubber aide down are.

    Hence why teslas with all their weight in the floor are practically impossible to roll over and look like a weeble-wobble toy in crash tests it's kind of unreal. Plus they handle spiritedly even though they're as heavy as my truck!

    I hear ya--- the avid bars go down and the bottom of the spare is much lower than any other setup. I might do a swingout but not for 10 years if i get crazy. I've already cut up a 40k truck lol

I have beaten mine pretty good at moab numerous times and other places. His products are very well made and strong as Fuk!! I think he just deals direct. Check out his website. And if your looking for Tuff skid plates you cant beat BAMF, well u can beat em but they will take it and smile

    I had the pelfrey full set and they took some dents because they arent as thick as BAMF but great skids anyway. The BAMF skids r heavy just a fyi

    The ATH looks really nice ! You cant go wrong with any of these makers! I have a Pelfrybilt with a custom swing arm added. BAMF looks a lot like the Pelfrybilt.
